Phoenix May be Preparing to Release New Album

The world last heard from Phoenix when they recorded and performed “Alone on Christmas Day” for Bill Murray’s special holiday program, A Very Murray Christmas, in 2015. But are they about to return with new music of their own?

The French band last released an album in 2013 with Bankrupt! and have largely remained quiet, but early this morning (November 16th) they updated all of their social media channels with a new image. While that might not be enough to declare “New Album Ahead!” it’s certainly got fans excited.

Phoenix changed their profile picture on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to the color bars usually seen on a television station that has gone off the air. Their website, meanwhile, has also undergone an update, and now features a new image that shares something in common with the color bars. It looks quite similar to the “We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties, Stay Tuned” insert TV stations used to run int he 1960s when they needed to fix something.

If the general message here is “Stay Tuned,” Phoenix certainly has their fans listening.
